Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff, LCPC

Lawrence "Lance" Bischoff meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer days. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Lance speaks plainly and aims to build a respectful working relationship that centers the person's needs.

He brings 16 years of counseling experience and a background that includes systems theory and family-centered ideas. He uses a mix of approaches and picks what fits each person rather than following one method. Sessions emphasize today’s problems, doable steps, and measurable progress.

Lance describes his style as candid and narrative-based, helping clients connect life events and reshape how they see them. He often works on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions. He also has an additional focus on aging and geriatric issues and on multicultural and veteran-related concerns.

He prefers video sessions and uses tools drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques when appropriate. The work is collaborative: he checks in often and adapts the plan to what helps most.

Lance holds an LCPC credential and practices from Montana. He accepts international clients and aims to make the process straightforward so people can start addressing what matters to them quickly.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship so people can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to explore values and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for anger, relationship stress and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and he checks in regularly to see what is working and what should change.

He prefers video sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow for face-to-face conversation from different locations. Video can also support longer check-ins and use of worksheets or guided exercises during the visit. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available and which best fit your routine.
